1. Sinigang
Is there anything more comforting than a warm bowl of sinigang? This tangy, sour soup is often associated with sampaloc (or tamarind) though other souring agents (such as guava, kamias, or unripe mango) have also been incorporated into the recipe. It is often cooked with pork, beef, shrimp or fish.
